Thanks Lawrence of Arabia and Yen (loved watching you talking about wedding dresses) for sharing another beautiful place to be. Each culture is so different, and makes each of your vids special 😊

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Kiwi Col 😁👍 one of the wonderful things about traveling is getting to experience other cultures. It's often so different to what we're use to but that's great as it helps us grow and gives new appreciations. We love that we get to share our memories here with others too 😊 thank you for following along with our adventures!

Really is! We visited many interesting and unique places in Morocco. Editing the videos currently and it's cool to relive the memories! 🙂 One of the main reasons we enjoy making vlogs 😁👍

[@MidnightLibrarian88]

Hi Peter and Yen, what a beautiful place to visit! Morocco has been one of the places I've wanted to visit for a long time but felt kind of intimidated. After watching your video, I feel more like it's a possibility to go. Thank you again for another wonderful view around the world and taking us along on your travels. Can't wait for the next one! Cheers! -Sophie

[@houtianas1596]

Just come im sure u will so happy

[@PeterandYen]

Totally understand what you mean coz honestly as much as we've traveled so far, Morocco was very different (for us anyway) but also incredibly unique and interesting. Like every country, there's some common scams and things to look out for but we also met so many lovely people and left with many wonderful memories too ❤️ Our final video from Morocco (8 videos total) we made a "things to know before you go" so hopefully you'll find that one helpful too! We hope you'll also enjoy all the upcoming videos.. we can't wait to share them 😊❤️

[@catherinekhoo474]

Love this country and it's culture and not forgetting it's market pl...ppl seems very lovely and especially the accommodation is beautifully decorated. Good to know Murad is so helpful..n Mohammed is a good hair stylist too.

[@PeterandYen]

So much culture and tradition. It's very special to be able to experience such a place. We're grateful to all the lovely people who we met and helped us throughout our time in Morocco 🙂 Peter still talks about how great his haircut was from Mohammed 😂👍

[@bookwormfaith]

Wow, you guys always find such amazing accomodation and guides!

Wonderful vlog about fez and great Host Mourad that i know how he works

[@PeterandYen]

😁 Mourad is a great host and person. Enjoyed sitting on the terrace chatting in the evenings

[@charlotteswildlife]

Really nicely put together vlog. There are so many interesting places to visit in this city.

[@lh6135]

The riad looks so airy with a lot of light coming through, and the dinner spot is great! This place must have been so advance back in the days to have one of the oldest university Now I know "Morocco has long been a crossroads in the world of trade", catching up with my general knowledge and history😅 Thanks for sharing your journey again, have a great week😎

[@PeterandYen]

It's kind of crazy to think that this would have been a very advanced city at one point but that it probably hasn't changed all that much since then. Which adds so much to the charm of the medina. 😁 there was a lot for us to learn as we traveled through Morocco too. Have a great week too 😊 👍

[@ouradventerousdays]

Thanks guys for another fun episode and the process to make weather is surprisingly long. No wonder it costs so much. Thanks for the touristy info too. We got tricked once when we were in Bangkok. The tour guy took us to alot of shopping and the jack up the price.

[@PeterandYen]

It's so involved when it's done the traditional way. The men who work all day in those vessels especially sure have an incredibly tough job. Always gotta be aware of the common scams in any country and just try best to avoid them ay 😅 Our parents got scammed in Italy for taking one photo with a "Roman soldier" 😅 20 euros for a photo with their own phone 😭😅😅

[@ouradventerousdays]

@PeterandYen I like things traditional way. The Italian gotta make a living somehow 🤣. I think out of all the countries we have been to, only Thailand tried to scam us. Malaysia, we didn't stay long enough to find out 🤣. Oh, that turtle is so cute. I want it for a pet, too, and a Thorny Devil (google it).

I like those head scarves which keep your hair away from sands, dusts and sun rays.

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

It’s a cool hair cut! 👍😊

[@SeoulMan2020]

I’m sure mums will love their gifts.. very thoughtful…by the way, was that a rogue 🐐 running by? 😂 The food looked amazing..(were those raisins on top? If so, I’d probably just pick at them and grind on the veggies and lamb)… Tortoises are always cool, but the show stealer in today’s vid is….Peter’s haircut 😁 Very nice 👍👍👍 Isn’t getting haircuts in new countries the best?? 😁😁 Great vid guys… safe travels!

[@PeterandYen]

It was a stray lil goat that ran by hahaha love that you caught that! We had just finished filming inside the rug store so cameras were down... I was in front of Peter and saw it first and was laughing like how cute 😂😂 then remembered to call out to Peter that there was an incoming goat and he managed to just capture it in time on camera 😂🐐 Peter gets so many haircuts and it's always fun to see what he ends up with 😂🤣 Mohammed did such a good job on his hair! He was so meticulous too 💇‍♂️ Thanks Hans! Hope you're well. We've been enjoying our relaxing stay in Phuket 😁👍 massages, exercising, pool dips and good food in between all the editing 🙂 where abouts are you now? Korea?

[@SeoulMan2020]

@@PeterandYen Haha glad he caught the goat and good job and calling it out 😁😁😁 I'm going to just miss you guys again...told Peter I'll be headed to the southern islands in Thailand for the surf season (mostly Phuket)... I heard the crowds in Phuket were bad the last few months, but thinning out due to the rainy season... I'm currently in Japan...had a craving for some of my favorite dishes, and flights are cheap and short from Korea so....😁 Have a great time relaxing, and eating great food... and safe travels back home!

Well I should start to watch here again! This is how far I am behind! Yeah the opening was great and wow you always find some amazing locations! Wow that room is just stunning and really good! Haha yeah need air-conditioning here too been so humid! Wow yeah very old accommodation! Quite correct actually having a good host, the people there makes such a big difference! Food always looks good and yeah great filming as you were going through those alleys. Yeah those markets are just stunning! Wow those building and the tomb is just stunning! So the mint takes away the leather smell, most interesting! Yeah more colours in the morning, I guess from the direction of the sun! Wow those machinery was cool to see and those cats and other animals so cool to showed that! That looked a stunning day and glad you made it home safe and yes that looked an amazing dinner! Such an amazing location!

What kind of music did you play in your video? It sounds like Indonesian music.

[@nuhshoho6753]

How did you guys manage to haggle with the sellers? I was getting much higher asking price and could not get the price you guys got

[@PeterandYen]

Hello, we use the technique to ask for a price that's reasonable and if it's not accepted then walk away. You usually have to try a few stores before it works.

[@stewartl5109]

Mmm an interesting place. Wow the narrow streets didn’t really do much for me sorry ..not a lot of green spaces? Do they have parks for children ? This place would give me a sense of claustrophobia. The crafts like the weaving, leather and steel smiths would be interesting but not a town I would go to. My feelings and thoughts only. Thx for the insights you guys. 🙏🏻

[@PeterandYen]

Kia ora Stewart 👋 The medina is just one part of Fes (the oldest section) so there's also the modern city side to it which is very much just like any other city around the world but the medina is unique and interesting to visit coz it's like a chance to step back in time and see so much traditional and cultural things still in full vibrancy but yea some alleys are very narrow so maybe not for the claustrophobic 😅 although you can also avoid those particular streets to get around most places too.. they're just like the shortcuts 😆

[@stewartl5109]

@@PeterandYen Kia Ora fellow kiwi bros.. wow appreciate you took the time to reply to a very in-depth answer thanks 🙏🏻 I so enjoy seeing your video diaries and adventures and hearing your accent so brings back my memories as a child growing up in the seaside , open farm and country areas of (poverty bay and Hawkes bay) one thing I do actually miss is the seafood we either dived or fished for… but what I read and hear from my siblings now it’s all but gone to either the Chinese or sold out to the Maori Government people? So stay safe and keep the fun adventures coming..😉🤭😎
